Lithotripsy: A single lithotripsy treatment probably has no ill effects. High blood pressure may be a side effect with multiple lithotripsies.

I have a rather large kidney stone and it definitely wont pass. Also I have no insurance. Are there any alternatives to lithotripsy to break up the stone? Possibly a shockwave pain therapy ultrasound machine?
